#Backlog vs Scratch.

Backlog is a calm and simple task manager built around one daily ritual: review what matters. It helps you stay connected to your tasks without pressure, overload, or endless lists. Backlog is not about chasing productivity. It’s about clarity, focus, and quiet confidence in your work. A different approach to tasks: • Review your tasks once a day • Focus only on what matters now • Avoid clutter and constant notifications • Build a simple, sustainable habit How Backlog works: • Add tasks without over-planning • Group and reflect, not just complete • Stay aware of important items • Keep your task list calm and manageable Designed for: • People who feel overwhelmed by classic to-do apps • Those who prefer reflection over pressure • A mindful, minimalist workflow Backlog turns task management into a daily ritual — simple, calm, and human.

Most task apps get in your way. You open them up just to write down a quick thought, and suddenly you’re picking dates, picking projects, and clicking through dropdowns. Scratch is built on a simpler idea: treat your to-do list like the paper scratchpad on your desk. It gives you a single, clean Markdown canvas for your entire day. Open the app, type what you need to do, and get back to what you were working on. No folders to manage, no forms to fill out, and no clutter. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT * Just Plain Text: Use standard Markdown for list, checkboxes, headings, hyperlinks, and highlighting. * Everything in One Place: No nested submenus or lost lists. Your active tasks, daily notes, and quick brain dumps all live on one continuous page. * Your Data, Your Choice: Want complete privacy? Use Scratch in 100% offline Local Mode — your notes stay locked on your device. Need access everywhere? Turn on Cloud Sync to mirror your data on other devices. * Instant Access with Widgets: Keep your list front and center. Use home screen widgets to view your scratchpad at a glance, or add lock screen widgets to check tasks without even unlocking your phone. * Blazing Fast: It opens instantly and stays out of your way so you can capture ideas as fast as you think of them. If you like keeping things simple, Scratch is for you.
